Being a man (for want of a gender-neutral term) and doing your job don't matter, flap your gums, make everyone feel like they know and hide anything useful from the nasty backstabbers who're doing the same! (And people wonder why no one trusts each other or cares about getting things done at work any more.)

Oh well. We are all social animals and you just can't hide that fact.

I think you should hang out just to hang out and not think about getting ahead.. If you do get ahead this way it wont be that far or only temporary.. bottom line performance determines everything.. there are no short cuts to any place worth going.. if someone is telling you there is like this author - beware..

I'm open-minded about after-work drinkings.
But sometimes it makes serious problems.
In my husband's case, though he didn't attend, during a drinking time,
one boss blamed one of his collegues for the failure of his project in front of all members who attended.
In the end, he wrote a letter to HR to sue her.
what I'm talk to is that after-work drinks are good but we should watch our mouth on such occasions.

This is right, however, what if you don't enjoy drinking? I sometimes feel awkward and seems to make other people uncomfortable by having sprakling water while they are drinking...

Oh well, I consider myself a social person and am pretty good at make-believe social gestures. However, sometimes I feel like I am wearing a number of masks and not to mention it is tiring to wear and change masks for different people. Can we all just become who we are and stop pretending we give a sh!#@?
